Cos-Play Hero p308: Life is Like a Video Game

Cos-Play Hero p307: Son of Maskstaschen

You didn't really expect to get through this book without a tragic villain backstory, did you?

Cos-Play Heor p205, p306: Maskstaschen's Secret

The wall made of talking robots were inspired by a snippet of the 1983 animated film "Unico and the Island of Magic," in which the villain uses a magic flute to turn people into creepy blocky dolls and forces them to stack together like living Lego bricks to form his castle.  (I saw this unsettling scene while channel surfing as a child without any context of what the holy heck was happening, and didn't even figure out what movie I was watching until almost thirty years later. It haunted me.)
The tank full of sinister orange fluid was from an entirely different anime film, but I'll let you figure that one out for yourself.

Cos-Play Hero p303: Friendly Fire

Sorry, this one is kinda lame.

Cos-Play HEro p302: H4X0RED!!!

Cos-Play Hero p302: Olivia and Penguin talk about boring identity issues while Sunglasses has a power trip.

I kind of wanted to space this out over two pages, but I worry about this comic's pacing. I don't want to spend too much time talking about Sunglasses' issues when the other half of the cast is trying to escape a life and death situation.
Also, that's supposed to be Sunglasses staring maniacally into a computer in the first frame. I'm not sure it came out right. I should have drawn him from a different angle. I might have to redraw that frame.

Cos-Play Hero p297: The fight is over?

Wait, is the fight actually over!? After over four months of drawing this scene!?

Eyes

Brief Intermission:

Also, a cartoon:

Cos-Play Hero p296

Gosh, I'm tired.

Cos-Play Hero p295: A Grave Error

If I had all the time in the world, this tug of war would have gone on for several pages. What do you think of the colors? Could someone please give me some feedback? I have no idea what I'm doing.

Cos-Play Hero p294

He clearly isn't taking this seriously.

Cos-Play Hero p292, p293: Pretty Prism!!!

You know. A prism. Because he's reflecting beams everywhere... like a prism.

Cos-Play Hero p291: The Eye of the Beholder

Cos-Play Hero p289, p290: Remember that old HBO intro sequence from the 80's?

Umm... Didn't this whole thing start out as a Film Noir story?

Cos-Play Hero p287, p288: Hope

Good grief, this emotional-development part of the storyline was tricky to write.
